GrowthBook Users

Hi Mahesh.  GrowthBook requires you to have an event tracking and data source already in place.  For example, Mixpanel, Google Analytics, or Segment + Snowflake.

When instantiating the GrowthBook instance in the SDK, you pass in a `trackingCallback` function.  In there you would track the event with whatever system you are using

So the SDK never communicates with <http://growthbook.io|growthbook.io> directly.  Instead, you track events into your data source and then <http://growthbook.io|growthbook.io> queries the data source to pull out data and analyze the result

Got it <@U01TCPDB58C>, this helps a lot. So I would need to add the trackingCallback: attribute to the new Growthbook call

and then events will be sent to that service specifically, when I call growthbook.run()?

Is it possible to configure the snippet to use my own PostgresSQL as a data source?

(i.e., how do I send events from the snippet to my PG?)

There are a bunch of event tracking libraries and services you can use that can write to Postgres.  Jitsu, Segment, Fivetran, Rudderstack, FreshPaint are some

Ok <@U01TCPDB58C>: I think I misunderstood the scope of the Javascript SDK. It is more clear now.
